ABSTRACT
Background: Jigsaw is a cooperative teaching strategy used in education that promotes collaboration and group learning among students. Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge level of students following the Jigsaw teaching method and to analyze the student’s perspective regarding its design and implementation. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 100 phase one MBBS students in October 2023. The students were randomly divided into 20 core groups with five students each and a case scenario with five sub-questions was shared. Then, each sub question was assigned to a member, and they were regrouped to form expert groups where the students interacted and discussed the respective sub topics. Later, the participants were back in the core groups where they applied their knowledge for peer teaching. Knowledge assessment both before and after the activity was done to determine the effectiveness of the method. Student perception survey was used to evaluate the design, implementation, and effectiveness of the Jigsaw teaching method in Physiology. Results: The mean post-test scores were significantly higher than the mean pre-test scores (6.94 ± 1.84 vs. 4.75 ± 1.71, P < 0.001). About 94% of students agreed that Jigsaw teaching method provided better understanding of the topic and 95% of students opinionated that this was helpful in developing communication skills, positive peer relation and leadership qualities. Conclusion: Jigsaw is an effective teaching method which encourages active participation and teamwork among students to provide deeper understanding of the subject.
ABSTRACT
Background: Competency-based medical education involves continuous and multi-tiered assessment. Acquiring basic procedural skill competencies is essential to ensure patient safety. Simulation incorporates both training and feedback and provides opportunities to learners to practice skills and procedures in life-like settings. Aims and Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness in improving the knowledge, perception, and skill of the 2nd-year medical students after video- and mannequin-based demonstration for parenteral routes of drug administration. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted from November 2019 to January 2020 in the department of pharmacology. The technique of parenteral routes of drug administration was explained to the participants using two teaching methods – PowerPoint presentation with video demonstration and demonstration on mannequins. The knowledge of all the participants was assessed before demonstration. At the end of each teaching method, the knowledge, perception, and skill of all the participants were assessed. The responses of participants after each teaching method were compared and analyzed. Results: A total of 132 students participated in PowerPoint with video demonstration- based teaching and 115 students participated in mannequin-based teaching. Significant increase in the knowledge mean score was observed due to the introduction of both the methods of teaching when compared with pre-intervention score. However, gain in knowledge was better with video-based teaching than mannequin-based teaching. Mean perception and skill of the students was significantly higher in mannequin-based teaching. Conclusion: The study concludes that knowledge of medical undergraduates regarding parenteral drug administration was good with both the teaching methods, for confidence- and hassle-free administration skill, following all the steps can be achieved only by hands-on training like using mannequin.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Self-directed learning (SDL) is the process in which individuals take the initiative and learning environment involves all other aspects of the institute. Good SDL ability is the foundation of lifelong learning. Students' perception of the educational environment plays a subtle role in learning and contributes to learning input and students' achievement. Self-directed learning is integral to public health teaching. Objective: To assess the perceptions of learning environment and self-directed learning readiness and association between the two among public health researchers and also to elicit the factors associated with SDLRS. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted from July to December 2023 in a public health institute in Kolkata. A total of 102 participants across ive courses were selected by Complete Enumeration method and their self-directed learning readiness (SDLRS) and perceptions of learning environment were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire. The data was analysed in SPSS, version 16. Ethical approval was taken. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 26.7 years and 64.7% of the study participants were from MBBS background. The median academic hours was 18 hours per week, 37.3% of the participants were studying in the institute for less than 6 months and 20.6% for more than 24 months. The overall perception of learning environment was more positive than negative. There was signiicant positive correlation between SDLRS and Learning Environment (Spearman's rho=0.281, p=0.004). Age (p=0.015) and prior academic qualiication (p=0.016) were signiicantly associated with SDLRS. Conclusion: SDLRS was associated with positive Learning Environment. The overall perception of SDLRS was average and the SDL ability improved with duration of study in the institute and deteriorated with age of the study participants.

Results:In normal, there was significant differences between the qualified rates of pre-traction force, lifting and pulling force, maximum force, pre-traction time, lifting and pulling time, rotation amplitude, and pitch amplitude in two groups (all P<0.05). For overweight people, there were significant differences in pre-traction force, pulling force, maximum force, and rotation amplitude (all P <0.05), while there were no significant differences in pre-traction time, pulling time, or pitching amplitude (all P >0.05). In obesity, there were significant differences in pre-traction force, lifting and pulling force, maximum force, and pitch amplitude (all P <0.05), but no significant differences in pre-traction time, lifting and pulling time, or rotation amplitude (all P >0.05). Conclusions:The proposed system can improve the pass rate of spinning manipulation, especially by effectively controlling the pre-traction force, pulling force, and maximum force.
ABSTRACT
In order to give full play to the important role of multi-disciplinary treatment (MDT) in oncology teaching in talent training and discipline development, an oncology teaching and research section has been established, the textbook Clinical Oncology has been compiled, excellent teaching workers in affiliated hospitals have been selected to form an MDT teaching team, and a multi-tutorial system has been established for the discipline related to specific tumor types. The multi-tutorial system of disciplines combines lecture-based learning (LBL) with case-based learning (CBL) and problem-based learning (PBL). Students are arranged to observe and participate in clinical MDT consultation during the inter-class practice, and compared with the traditional assessment form, MDT case discussion questions, review writing, classroom simulation of the MDT process and real participation in clinical MDT discussions are added. The questionnaire for students who participated in MDT teaching showed that more than 93% of the students believed that the MDT teaching model was helpful for systematically mastering the knowledge of the chapters they had learned and understanding the cutting-edge progress, improving learning initiative, thinking and problem-solving ability, clinical comprehensive analysis ability and teamwork spirit. The majority of students' expression skills [89%(169/190)] and literature review skills [79%(150/190)] were improved; 94%(178/190) of students expressed their willingness to accept this teaching method. The teaching practice experience of the Department of Oncology of Jilin University based on the MDT model helps to improve the teaching level of oncology.
